brighter futures - Maxis Annual Report 2015
>> inspiring brighter futures y lit rate resp o p on cor sib r i Ou “Nurturing tomorrow’s leaders.” Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Our Customers As we began our journey to deliver an Unmatched Customer Experience, we knew it had to be done in a way where no stone was left unturned. That meant a holistic and structured Customer Experience Framework, where there were Voice-of-Customer Insights and an “engine” to continuously improve. That also meant taking a long hard look at the fundamentals, to figure out what’s wrong and fix it. We had to get the basics right, and have a strong foundation to build upon. So, we set up multiple Voice-of-Customer platforms to gain valuable insights and outside-in-views. With customer analyses, we identified customer pain points and even new opportunities. What we learned was that we had to simplify our customers’ journey - from the moment customers take up our service to using, 40 paying, engaging, renewing and even leaving us should they choose to do so – and try to create ‘LIKE’ moments during their journey. We are customer-centric in our core processes and we took ideas from employees across the organisation to identify improvement fixes. Changes in our customer journey processes have systematically been implemented throughout the year. Even our management team volunteered to ‘buddy’ with our colleagues at call centres, or attend to our customers at the Maxis Centres to experience the customers’ journey and gain on-ground insight. In a nutshell, we eat, breathe and live everything and anything to do with customer experiences. CUSTOMER SERVICE EXCELLENCE 2.0 It all boils down to supporting our customers’ communication needs, and at the same time bringing them the best value proposition in technology and device innovation. To support us in doing this, we have expanded our presence, ensuring our service channels and touchpoints are designed to deliver the best standards in service experience. Our modernised Maxis Signature Retail stores are equipped with state-of-the-art systems and facilities to deliver best-in-class services for our customers. We also offer a full suite of services to complement device propositions such as best mobile Internet plans, trade-up offers, device insurance, and product tutorials and live demos. So, walk-in customers can now browse and try out the widest range of latest devices and accessories on display at our stores. Overview Our Business Strategic Review Corporate Governance Financial Statements Other Information Our Customers There are also many more ways for our customers to get in touch with us. Besides our Contact Centres, we have other digital touchpoints like our corporate website, Maxis Online Store, social media, livechat channels as well as dedicated apps (MyMaxis & RED App). In addition, we have a dedicated team of account managers for daily interactions with our Enterprise customers, as well as a direct service management and delivery team to manage complex projects. Our obsession with customers and valuable insights gained over the years have also driven us to continuously enhance our service standards through many ‘LIKE’ moments in our quest to simplify the Customer Journey. maxis.com.my/customers 41 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Our Products THE INTERNET: ALWAYS BETTER WITH MAXIS MaxisONE Simple and limitless We are relentless in making the Internet available to all customers. Our worry-free propositions, relevant Internet packages and an affordable smartphone range are appealing to consumers and will set to drive mobile Internet growth. POSTPAID Data Sharing with up to 5 devices, even smartwatches Voice calls and SMS are limitless to all networks The Internet is Always On with data boosters from for 200MB RM10 Roam the world (106 countries) at one low flat rate of RM38 per day 42 When our customers make connections with other people via voice or text or the Internet, or listen to music, search for information and more, they shouldn’t have to be constantly checking the minutes and quota, but instead be immersed in the connections they are making. We believe our customers should feel free when they communicate, so in May 2014, we made a significant breakthrough by launching our new postpaid MaxisONE plan. It is the ONE Internet plan with limitless talk and text and worry-free roaming, allowing our customers to truly feel free when they use their phones. Worry-free Promise Postpaid customers get the most out of mobile Internet when they subscribe to one of our many relevant packages. However, those who decide to continue with pay-per-use mobile Internet can do so with our worry-free proposition introduced in July 2014, where total charges are capped at RM50 (250MB). Any usage beyond 250MB will still be free at lower speeds (64kbps). We also provide a safety net for any accidental usage. This means that if you accidentally turn on mobile data on your phone, we will not charge you for up to this amount of quota. So, no matter what, there will be no extra, hidden or unexpected costs. That’s our worry-free promise to our customers. Device Trade-Up Programme Our Trade-Up programme made it convenient for our customers to upgrade to the iPhone 5s, HTC One (M8) or Samsung Galaxy S5. Customers could trade in any of their phones and receive rebates when they sign up to a monthly commitment of at least RM78 per month, for 24 months. PREPAID #Hotlink is the only prepaid that provides Always Free Social Chat on any chat app, every day. Customers are forever in the know with free basic Internet - even when they run out of high speed Internet quota. Our prepaid customer experience was further amplified this year when we introduced the Hotlink RED App, which amplifies #Hotlink’s ‘Always On’ experience. Overview Our Business Strategic Review Corporate Governance Financial Statements Other Information Our Products Simply download the App and what you get is a best-in-class self-serve app that allows you to check call and SMS balance and purchase Hot Tickets for your ‘wallet’, manage your Activ10, upgrade to #Hotlink, get the latest promotions, Facebook passes and boxes of surprises.

INTEGRATED SERVICES On the Home broadband front, our customers enjoy seamless Internet experience at home or on the go.

Now, customers on the MaxisONE Plan will enjoy even better value, with even more in the pipeline including mobile and home fibre broadband bundled products. Our Home services are available to more than 1.6 million homes with our own-built fibre footprint, and in partnership with TM. ENTERPRISE: DIGITALISING BUSINESSES Maxis Enterprise serves over 50,000 businesses nationwide, across the SME, Corporate and Public Sector segments. This achievement is due to our first mover advantage in the enterprise arena, and our experience over the years stands us in good stead to provide innovative, end-toend business solutions, across mobile and fixedline connections. Our business customers are focused on winning and gaining from business opportunities that are out there in their respective industries. They want reliable services that they do not need to worry about and require a communications provider, who is also a technology partner, to introduce them to new ways of working and leveraging this digital era with all its digital tools. Being a business enterprise ourselves, we firmly believe this transition to the new future is essential, and have had to transform ourselves first towards becoming digitally savvier. We have digitalised the way we operate as a company, and in turn, are digitalising our customer interface, moving from piecemeal to integrated solutions, from rigid and non-scalable solutions to mobile-enabled, flexible tools. Ultimately, we want our business customers to operate in a similar way by recognising the potential of what mobile communication can achieve. While designing this plan, we knew scalability was important for small businesses that wanted to grow. We also understood that predictability was important, so not only did our plan have to be limitless, it had to also provide a worry-free experience. But that isn’t all. To be truly valuable to our customers, we also have a range of services that enables them to digitally engage their own customers. We now have FINDIT, the largest business directory in Malaysia that comprises of our business customers. We also offer mobile pointof-sales solutions for businesses, and even cloud services and Data Centre hosting services. Our full suite of fixed service runs on our own fibre infrastructure and data centres, and Maxis’ Business Fibre Internet is the first in the country that comes with a wireless backup service as a Business Continuity measure. For 2014, we also continued to drive our Unified Communications and Mobility Solutions. Maxis’ Managed M2M enables enterprise customers to have real-time control over their connected machines for improved efficiency, along with the flexibility of data sharing across SIMs and endto-end mobile and fixed solutions. These include vertical-specific solutions such as Remote Health Monitoring via connected devices. One Decision, Many Solutions Our Enterprise division provides SMEs and large corporations with seamless mobile and fixed services. In 2014 we launched MaxisONE Business, a mobile plan that offers limitless voice, SMS, worry-free data and business grade services. maxis.com.my/products 43 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Our Network Transformation 95% 88% 2014 2G Coverage 3G Coverage Mobile data continues to grow exponentially. With an increase of 60% in 2014, data traffic has become the key driver for total traffic in our network. This increase was mainly due to streaming and web browsing which accounted for nearly 80% of the traffic. To ensure our network has enough capacity, we continued to upgrade our backhaul to direct fibre and IP-based microwave. Since the network remains a critical component of our transformation journey, we invested RM1.1 billion in 2014. We also invested substantially in providing diverse fibre paths to better protect our network against the effects of fibre cuts, theft and vandalism. 44 Our network is still expanding and as of end 2014, our 2G and 3G networks covered 95% and 88% of the population respectively. Meanwhile, our new and modern 2G and 3G networks cover more than 75% of the population, with emphasis on specific market centres and secondary towns around the country. With 4G LTE device penetration increasing, our 4G LTE coverage is rapidly expanding and approaching a third of the population. In collaboration with MCMC, we rolled out mobile services to underserved areas. Working together with the industry players, we enabled Domestic Roaming for Maxis at nearly 300 sites under the Time 3 program. In addition, we have activated over 260 sites using RAN technology. Customer experience insights During the year, we acquired new capabilities to gauge our network service performance. Tools and systems were upgraded to better understand customers’ experience and with these deeper insights, we are now able to enhance and optimise the network to provide an unmatched mobile voice and data experience for our customers. Overview Our Business Strategic Review Corporate Governance Financial Statements Other Information Our Network Transformation The network was tested for download speeds, website loading times and also YouTube streaming – three key areas important to the customer’s network experience. Results indicated that we surpassed our desired targets: Download speeds of more than 1Mbps, 80% of the time Zero buffering on YouTube, 96% of the time Popular web pages loaded in less than 8 seconds Extreme network testers take to the streets! Since our network is the single most important driver of customer experience, we obsess over the smallest detail. As part of our ongoing commitment to deliver the best data experience, in November this year, 1,000 of our employees came together to form the biggest army of ‘extreme testers’ to put our network through high-pressure tests in key market centres across Peninsular Malaysia. The main objective of this exercise was to get first-hand experience of Maxis’ newly modernised network coverage and check if our network can withstand this extreme testing. The test results were critical in serving as an important benchmark to continuously improve and understand what goes into providing an Unmatched Customer Experience. We also engaged an independent global information and measurement company, Nielsen, to conduct a total of 2,120 tests across Klang Valley, Penang, Kuantan and Johor Bahru. While we achieved our targets, we will continue to raise the bar for ourselves and extend a superior network experience to even more areas. maxis.com.my/transform 45 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Our People People and Culture When we began our transformation journey in late 2013, we knew the focus would be towards creating a great workplace. We spent a huge amount of energy and resources on it, and will continue to do so. Creating a truly great workplace requires creating a great culture. One that keeps attracting smart and talented people from diverse backgrounds, to come and be part of. A core part of our efforts was to create a common set of shared values, one that defines what Maxis is and what it stands for. We also clearly outlined our ambition to be a company admired for excellence. than multiple micro-promotions because of seniority. We now have a smaller number of capable managers to lead our teams of individual contributors. • Living the MaxisWay We believe through a lot of initiatives over the past year, we are getting closer to becoming a company admired for excellence. We introduced the MaxisWay programme to drive a new culture and a new way of working and we’ve spent all of 2014 on embedding its values. High Performing Organisation Maxis tightly links rewards to results and behaviours. Instead of seniority and status, we prioritise performance and potential, and promote this through numerous incentives and rewards programmes, and benefits that are standardised across all levels of employees. We have completed a year-long, company-wide training on the MaxisWay and how we want the new Maxis to work and behave. All employees attended the programme, called Living the MaxisWay, which was facilitated by our own internal “change agents”. This is part of our culture change process – to get our people focused on real achievement and growth. Making employee rewards as competitive as possible and a fair reflection of employees’ performance and potential, is a critical part of our efforts. MaxisWay 2014 These are some of the activities we had to cultivate the MaxisWay. For our first year, we have been busy! • 46 • • MaxisWay describes the new way we work together. It consists of guiding principles that are at the core of everything we do: they drive our decision making, and they guide us in our daily work. MaxisWay is our reference point, always. We also reduced the levels and tiers in our organisational hierarchy to better reflect actual contribution and competence rather • A series of motivational talks by prominent speakers to emphasise our MaxisWay values and embed them into our DNA. • Monthly themes to encourage living our values and a ‘happy hour’ at work at the end of the month where employees meet and mingle with their fellow colleagues. Organised our first Maxis Sports Carnival and sponsored regular sports events and friendly sports tournaments across the company. Our Management team was deployed on the ground to engage with our customers, employees and dealers, to better understand and improve customer experience. We’ve even designed the “Netbuster Speedtest App” for 1,000 of our employees to gain invaluable insights on Customer Experience of our network during the Maxis New Network Testdrive around Malaysia. 200 teams of employees from all levels personally delivering the newly-launched iPhone 6 devices to various locations. Developing Our People We are completing a physical workspace makeover that is giving us the most vibrant, modern, (and fun!) office in the country! The offices of Maxis now are a true reflection of the culture we want to create – open and transparent, flexible and a joy to be in! There is no fixed seating and every day, employees start anew by choosing new workspaces. This also helps to improve collaboration and cross-functional teamwork. Overview Our Business Strategic Review Corporate Governance Financial Statements Other Information Our People Maxis Academy, our training ground offers rich learning content that supports the needs of the business through structured processes and measurements. Learning is supported by modern facilities and the latest technologies. Our investment in online learning, coaching and mentoring through subject matter experts and senior leaders is in line with our commitment to human capital development in delivering quality learning initiatives to our employees. NURTURING OUR FUTURE We are especially enthusiastic about developing young talents, as well as rewarding and supporting excellence. The future of Maxis depends on us giving challenging opportunities to aspiring young talents who have proven their capabilities to work hard and excel beyond academic levels. Maxis Management Associate Program (M-MAP) Maxis has a rigorous, award-winning, twoyear long and highly structured management associate programme. We choose the best young talents – whether fresh graduates or those with a year or two of working experience elsewhere, to come into the programme. The Management Associates are given thorough exposure on various aspects of the business before they are assigned to their preferred departments. The programme also includes shadowing the senior most members of the Maxis Management Team (MMT), including the CEO. This gives them an unparalleled look into how a large and fast moving company such as Maxis, is run. The program has been specially honoured as the Best Management Trainee/Graduate Program by GradMalaysia and Talentcorp in 2013. In 2014, Maxis was once again awarded the telecommunications sector winner titlein Malaysia’s 100 Leading Graduate Employers Awards. Our Management Associate Programme (M-MAP) has won awards from TalentCorp, GradMalaysia and Malaysia’s 100 Leading Graduate Employers Awards Maxis Structured Internship Programme We offer undergraduates opportunities to gain on-the-job exposure in the telecommunication industry through this programme, which is open to Malaysian students studying locally and overseas. Annually, Maxis recruits 90 to 120 interns majoring in either Engineering, IT, Human Resources, Accounting Finance, Psychology, Public Relations and Communications. This programme offers a useful glimpse into our fast-paced and ever-evolving industry and ultimately provides a potential talent pool for the M-MAP programme. Relationship with Educational Institutions In some of these programmes, we work closely with TalentCorp, Malaysia’s governmentagency tasked with helping develop talent in the country. Harvard Business School, Melbourne University, Swinburne University of Technology and Vellore Institute of Technology, are among some of the schools that Maxis has hosted. Workforce Diversity Diversity in people is of great importance for growing our business. Our 2,900 employees come from diverse backgrounds including age, gender, race, nationality and knowledge, all of which play a critical role in building the new MaxisWay culture that is underpinned by the values of being positive, passionate and collaborative. An environment that encourages mutual respect, working well together and having fun will help us realise our aspiration of being an organisation admired for excellence. We believe that a culture that inspires true innovation in Maxis can only come from a healthy interplay of diverse backgrounds and demographics. Maxis has hosted high school and university students to our premises, through collaborations with universities and student bodies. In all instances, the students have had the opportunity to engage with Maxis senior leaders and be involved in group projects sponsored by Maxis. maxis.com.my/people 47 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014 Our Corporate Responsibility CONNECTING THE UNCONNECTED Maxis recognises the importance of doing good work with the aim of developing and enriching the community through education, using technology. As an enabler, technology is making a difference in our everyday lives. Recognising this, our flagship programme, Maxis Cyberkids was designed to provide ICT training to students, teachers and the rural communities. The objective of the programme is to empower individuals with skills to adopt and use technology effectively. MAXIS CYBERKIDS CAMPS During the year, we conducted 10 camps for schools located in six states namely, Penang, Kedah, Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Johor. Out of the 10 camps, five were for Special Needs Schools (Sekolah Pendidikan Khas). A total of 229 students and 207 teachers participated in the camps this year. The Maxis Cyberkids programme which began in 2002, has reached out to over 9,000 students and teachers, across 1,525 schools throughout the country. For the hearing impaired children from the Special 48 Needs Schools, the training module was customised to suit their needs. The 10 schools that participated in the camps were also given the opportunity to showcase their creative projects at the Maxis Cyberkids Challenge 2014 in November. For the Challenge, the participating students created mobile apps, video animation and short films. MAXIS CYBERKIDS WITH COMMUNITY In May 2014, we extended the Maxis Cyberkids programme to Pusat Internet 1Malaysia (Community Broadband Centres) in three underserved locations. Two training sessions were held in Kedah and one session in Negri Sembilan. During the training, the participants had the opportunity to learn how to create emails, blogs and videos. They also learnt about Google applications. MAXIS CYBERKIDS WITH EMPLOYEES’ CHILDREN Children of our employees had fun attending the holiday camps conducted at our Maxis Academy. A total of 210 kids aged from 9 to 12 participated in three camps. They were able to explore and learn about the Internet, Microsoft Office applications and cyber safety. An exciting part of the camp was the team-building exercises where the kids had a chance to interact and make new friends. Here’s what some of the students have said about our camps: “I learnt how to make paper roller coaster movies together with my friends! But it doesn’t stop there – everything else about the camp is fun!” Amirul Asyraaf bin Mohd Khaidzir, SMPKV Indahpura, Johor “I’m so excited! I got to learn how to create a phone application with App Inventor!” Nurul Nadhirah bt Razak, SMK Dato’ Undang Musa Al-Haj, Negeri Sembilan “I learnt how to write stories in a more creative way, and Storybird is great for people like me who love writing!” Nada Natasha, SMK Dato’ Bentara Dalam MAXIS SCHOLARSHIPS FOR EXCELLENCE AWARDS (MSEA) The MSEA programme which offers scholarship opportunities to all Overview Our Business Strategic Review Corporate Governance Financial Statements Other Information Our Corporate Responsibility Malaysians, awarded 10 scholarships to deserving student in 2014 to pursue their undergraduate studies in the fields of Engineering, Technology and Social Sciences at top institutions overseas. Besides the scholarships, Maxis has put in place a continuous engagement and development programme with the scholars, to enable them to launch their career journey with the Company upon graduation. To date, Maxis has invested RM47.9 million which has enabled 254 young Malaysians to benefit from education at prestigious universities. BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE During the year, we ramped up the number of Pusat Internet 1Malaysia (PI1M) and Kampung Tanpa Wayar (KTW) sites in Malaysia – setting up, operating and managing these wired and wireless sites, and doing our part in bridging the digital divide. To date, we have 68 PI1Ms, of which 39 are under construction; and 550 KTWs, of which 280 are under construction. GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY In 2014, Maxis celebrated the festive seasons by engaging with the community through several activities. These included hosting a Chinese New Year celebration for the senior citizens at Jenjarom Old Folks’ Home in Banting, a charity event in Kuantan for several homes during Hari Raya Puasa, and celebrating Christmas with charity homes in Kuching, Sarawak. A total of RM90,000 was contributed to these homes. For Deepavali, we partnered with LINE and introduced our ‘Share the Light’ campaign to encourage and empower Malaysians to donate digitally for charity. The public could download free Deepavali stickers from LINE, where for every single download, Maxis donated RM1. A total of RM100,000 was raised and contributed to 10 children’s homes around the country. DISASTER RELIEF Towards the end of 2014, the country faced some of the worst floods in decades. When it hit the East Coast states, our priority was to expedite the restoration of communication services. We deployed mobile transmitters in areas that were affected by electricity disruptions to mitigate the situation and restore connectivity. We provided free minutes and SMS for customers in the affected states to stay in touch with their loved ones. In addition, we provided 35 free lines at selected relief centres – 10 in Kota Bahru, 15 in Ipoh and 10 in Kuantan. Further to that, we provided relief aid to flood victims in three areas by distributing essential items at relief centres at Sekolah Kebangsaan Getting, Tumpat, Kelantan, as well as SK Teluk Kepayang and SK Muzafar Shah in Bota, Perak. Our dealers were also not spared from the floods. More than 100 Hotlink dealers’ shops were damaged and our partners suffered varying degrees of losses. We helped to clean up their outlets, refurbish their display cabinets, restore IT systems and replenish point-of-sale materials to help them resume operations. In addition, Maxis employees who were affected by the floods were given monetary aid to get them back on their feet, as well as hotel accommodation. A Flood Donation Drive for affected employees was launched during this period. ENVIRONMENT Resource Efficiency Various energy efficiency solutions that we have adopted over the years are helping us to continue to improve our energy usage at our base stations and Technical Operations Centres (TOCs). The solutions include installation of free cooling systems, energy efficient air conditioners, LED lighting and the use of solar technology. In 2014, our total network energy usage was 289 GWh, an improvement from 295 GWh in 2013. Going paperless is one of the main initiatives of our new work culture. This year in our Menara Maxis office we have reduced the number of printers per floor from four to two, to discourage staff from printing and where possible to avoid unnecessary use of paper. This does not only reduce waste, but saves overhead costs and supports an environmentally friendly practice. Carbon Management We manage our carbon emissions by modernising our 2G and 3G legacy networks, and introducing energy efficient “Single RAN” or multi-technology radio platforms. We have also replaced diesel power with solar power at remote base stations and advocated the sharing of networks to avoid resource duplication. With these initiatives in place, we have recorded a cumulative reduction of 56,052 tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from 2010 to 2014, resulting in a total reduction of about 6% over five years. OPERATING RESPONSIBLY AND ETHICALLY Maxis operates responsibly and ethically through our “Code of Business Practice”, which guides Board members, Management and employees in upholding the highest standards of ethical business conduct. This means being a responsible employer, maintaining the health and safety of our employees and contractors, ensuring high standards of labour and environmental protection in our supply chain, and transparent and ethical business practices. Maxis also ensures that the highest standards of conduct and integrity are always at the core of the Company through the guidance of the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance, steered by the Board of Directors. 49 Maxis Berhad Annual Report 2014
